About 8 years ago, I received my first beer making kit. I made a few batches and was hooked. Since I already had the basic equipment, I started into making wine. I'm no "expert" on either, but I do enjoy making and drinking what I make.

  • 1 gallon oak or walnut leaves
  • 2 lb sugar

bring 6 pints of water to boil and dissolve the sugar in it.when sugar is fully dissolved pour ,still boiling, over leaves. let sit overnight and the next day strain into a fermenting jar. add citric acid,nutrient and yeast.shake well. top up with cold water. let it ferment until finished. rack when clear and again in 2 months.
